Where is the Fed? A Survey of Statistic, Comments and Speculation
|The second most speculative topic in the financial markets is the pending, if not impending Fed Reserve rate decision four months from now. It was the most consistently active topic until dethroned by the Greek elections and the revival of the euro question two weeks ago. We will look at the current state of the U.S. economy in light of its bearing on the Fed decision. What are the current levels in the equities, currencies and bonds yields telling us? What have Fed officials been saying and how has it changed over the past several months. What is the likely impact of the world economic situation on the Fed decision? There does not seem to be a stable market consensus evident in the trading levels as to when the Fed will move. Commentators have largely chosen June or soon thereafter. Markets as yet, appear undecided. Join us for a thorough review of Fed policy.
